Min AMD CPU for min spec testing?

Hi,

Does Oculus have a minimum recommended AMD CPU for testing performance on min spec machines? I know that single-threaded performance is the most important factor, but it's unclear what the "i5-4590 equivalent" would be that we should test against. Or is it sufficient to test only the i5-4590?

Thanks!

At this point, there are no AMD CPUs that meet the recommendation. Many of AMD CPUs will be technically compatible, and you are free to test and experiment yourself with your application. But they will be below the bar compared to Intel. Sorry.

So for example, apparently AMD has released this list of VR-ready AMD CPUs:

It includes the FX-6350, which when tested in PassMark against the i5-4590 as suggested on the Oculus Support page for processor compatibility seems to fall far short in single threaded-performance.

We got one dev / demo PC from AMD with FX-8370 (and RX480) and so far every Oculus game worked with pretty much same fps as with Intel.
